Garden King Newhall to benefit from Bradley closure
 |
Garden King Newhall Garden Centre near Swadlincote in Derbyshire is set to expand following the announcement of the closure of its sister centre at Bradley.
Last week GTN Xtra reported that Bradley is due to shut its doors for the final time on March 30 after admitting defeat in the face of competition from supermarkets, the effects of the weather, the recession and the centre’s isolated location.
Planters, owners of Garden King are set to now concentrate their efforts on the more popular garden centre at Newhall.
Darren Sanders, who currently manages both Garden King Bradley and Newhall, said that business at Newhall had picked up, adding: “We’re concentrating on Newhall, having an extension and a restaurant put on it. We’re just investing the money more sensibly in the other sites that are doing well.”
Garden King Bradley is now running a closing-down sale until March 30 and is also looking to sell off all its fixtures and fittings to other businesses.
